Yesterday i had my school athletics day. I was entered in a bunch of events just because the day kind of becomes boring if you don't do anything, but also because our school gives house points for participation.
One of the things i entered was the 100m SPRINT RACE *sweats furiously*
It's one of the things i've hated most about atheltics over the years. I mean what could be worse than running on a hot track in the midday sun with a grandstand full of people watching on the side. I'm definitely not a naturally fast runner, and i usually come close to last in every single race i do. The worst thing about coming last is that everyone starts clapping for you out of pity because you look so pathetic with your face wobbling around and your legs trying desperately to propel you forward. And when you finish everyone says 'well done' and you just want to melt into the floor and disappear. FUN
Anyway, this time round i did just as badly as always. When i got to the end i slowed down as gracefully as i could (aka tried not to fall flat on my face) and bent over to catch my breath. While i stood there panting i had my epiphany.
It was the last time i would ever run a race on this track, or any other track for that matter.
I'm in my last year of school and in 2017 im an adult (????) with lots of responsibilities and adult things to do. I'm not going to be at school, doing athletics days or cross country days or swimming sports days or any days. No more school after this year, ever.
I mean i should be saying 'fuck yes i will be freeeeee' and to a certain degree i am feeling that way, but my epiphany on the athletics track made me realise the absolute finality of it all. I have spent most of my life at school, 13 years to be exact. Its strange to think that its coming to an end.
Anyway the point of this was to remind you guys to enjoy your time at school, even the slightly shitty times (eg. running 100m sprint races) because before you know its over and you'll regret not making the most of it. I know there are lots of things i regret about my time at school, things i could've done differently. Don't waste your talents, try hard in everything you do, don't expect to succeed by just hoping you will. Work work work work work (hey riri). Ask questions and be interested in things, thats what makes us human and amazing
Also don't do drugs and drink alcohol. WAIT TILL YOUR AT UNI/COLLEGE TO DO THAT SHIT LMAO
top banter
Anyway that's my little slice of knowledge and i hope yall liked reading it. Till next time amigos
